Mediação da informação e protagonismo social: conteúdos informacionais publicados na BRAPCI sobre a população negra

Abstract

This research presents a brief theoretical discussion on information mediation, social protagonism in interface with scientific productions on the black population, existing in the Reference Base of Information Science Periodical Articles (BRAPCI). Specifically, it was intended to: a) Map scientific productions focusing on the black population in the Reference Base of Information Science Periodical Articles (BRAPCI), in the period from 1972 to 2023; b) Identify the authorship of the research; c) Provide an overview of the institutional affiliation of the researchers, the area of training, the academic title, the year of publication and the journals in which the research was published. The research approach was qualitative quantitative. It is characterized as exploratory, documentary, descriptive and bibliographical research. There was a lack of studies on the topic, based on productions located at BRAPCI, indicating the need for new research on the information mediation interface, social protagonism and the black population. Localized publications disseminate knowledge about rights and information based on the fight against racism, which can contribute to the generation of new knowledge and make visible the interface between the black population and the information phenomenon.
